Aloe Vera Gel

Clear, soothing Aloe Vera Gel is unscented and can be applied directly to the skin or at 5 – 15% in moisturizers.  Aloe can help soothe sun-affected skin.  Our gel holds additives and essential oils (and fragrance) well, and does not break down over time (ie it remains stable).

This Aloe Gel is useful in lotions and moisturizers as it helps the cream main volume and fulness in slightly thinner formulations.

Aloe Vera is obtained from the leaves of the “Aloe barbadensis miller” plant, a member of the Lily family,.  The plant material is dried and purity is ensured by removing any extraneous membrane material (which is irritating for sensitive skin).  Our gel is a ready to use base to which you can use topically or add other water-soluble ingredients
